Fix leaking kettle (slrpnk.net)

Hi all

I have an electric kettle I use to boil water often. I bought is because it is stainless steel, except for the indicator to see the water level. Of course this plastic part is now leaking...

Does anyone have an idea how to fix it? My idea would be to fill it with silicone, but not sure if that is safe for use with foods

Food grade silicone does exist. The question is not if it's safe, but which is safe.

Also, make sure it is rated for the higher temperature.
